    Way to list all file names on a DVD?

    A data DVD has folders and subfolders. Is there a way to see (list or print) all files without clicking on individual folder and subfolder? Thanks.

    Sure

    From a terminal window you'd change to the directory you want listed and type

    Code:
    ls -R
    You could even redirect the output to a text file and then read or print that.

    Code:
    ls -R > /path/to/filename.txt
    If you read the man page for ls you'll find you can really customize the output if you want.

    I like wizard's way better, but just to give you another option:
    Code:
    find

    Thanks. "ls -R > /pathname/to/filename.txt" worked beautifully. Actually, I used filename.ods for spreadsheet format. Thanks a lot folks.
